New Music: Formations, by Hearts And Minutes

I was very excited to discover that Hearts and Minutes have released a new EP. They are an indie/Post-Rock/Experimental band from LA. I only found out about the new release yesterday, but it was released in December. I bought a copy immediately as I knew it would be amazing. I was not disappointed. 🙂

I first came across this band in 2013. At that time they had released their awesome EP “Delirium”. I fell in love with the four tracks on that EP.

At the time, I was blogging at a different site and interviewed the band. They told me that their music is “… rock music with a tendency towards a grand sound and towards experimentation. We experiment with song structures, song lengths, and instruments (violins, second drum sets, keyboards, etc.). People have said we sound like Post-Rock with vocals.”

I think that’s a great description of their music.

The new 6-track EP, “Formations”, is a feast for the ears. It’s very original and they have a distinct sound that sets them apart from any other similar bands.

Track listing:

Promises

No Consecration

Gathering

Good Song

Interlude

77

Hearts And Minutes have produced a video for the track “77”. If you haven’t heard their music before, this is a good track to start with that will introduce you to their mesmerising sound.

You can stream and buy the new EP on Bandcamp. While you’re there, check out their earlier EPs.
